LaBRI PROGRESS team wins two prizes: a new approach to multi-source adaptive streaming

Following their research work on the evolution of current streaming techniques towards adaptive multi-source/peer-to-peer streaming, Joachim Bruneau-Queyreix, Mathias Lacaud and Daniel Négru from the LaBRI PROGRESS team have been awarded the scientific excellence prize for the best demonstration at the IEEE CCNC conference, and have won the Grand Challenge of DASH-IF during the IEEE ICME conference.

It is an exceptional person who has recently left us. Known as one of the fathers of theoretical computer science, Maurice Nivat, emeritus professor at Paris-Diderot, died on 21/09/2017. A strong and likeable personnality, he has left us a scientific inheritance of major importance. During his brilliant career, Maurice Nivat also trained numerous researchers - André Arnold, Pierre Castéran and Bruno Courcelle to mention only members of our laboratory. His portrait here.

IRIM 2nd at the TRECVID2017 INS task

The GDR ISISIRIM consortium grouping several French laboratories, has participated for several years in the international evaluation TRECVID.This campaign proposes research taks in analysis, indexing, and automatic content extraction on massive video data.One of the tasks: INS « Instance Search » consists of finding objects, and people in predefined contexts in these massive video datasets (475K plans of a total duration of 435 hours this year).The IRIM consortium, coordinated by the LABRI (Boris Mansencal, Jenny Benois-Pineau), composed of CEA-LIST, LIMSI, LISTIC and LIG, finished in 2nd place out of the 7 international teams participating on the INS task in 2017.
